Chicken And Dumplings
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 pounds your favourite chicken parts, cut up
2 cups chicken broth
2 stalks celery
1 tablespoon minced parsley
2 carrots, peeled, sliced
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup dry white wine (optional but really adds a nice taste)
1 can refrigerated biscuits
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons flour
Method
In a large skillet, brown onion in butter and oil just until tender, then brown chicken parts and place all in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients except heavy cream, flour and biscuits. Cook on high 2½ to 3 hours or on low 5 to 7 hours. When chicken is done, remove pieces to plate and let cool, then debone. While chicken is cooling, mix flour and cream together, then stir into slow cooker. Open biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Drop into slow cooker and turn on high. These will need to cook about 30 minutes, until they are firm. Return chicken meat to slow cooker after deboning and serve. You can use your own homemade biscuit recipe for canned if you prefer.
